Psalms 37

CLV(i) 1 {Davidic{ Do not grow hot because of evildoers; Do not be jealous over those doing iniquity. 2 For like grass, they shall quickly be snipped off, And like green verdure, they shall decay." 3 Trust in Yahweh, and do good; Tabernacle in the land, and graze in faithfulness." 4 Find pleasure in Yahweh, And He shall give you the requests of your heart." 5 Hand over your way to Yahweh; Trust Him, and He shall do it." 6 So He will make your righteousness shine forth like the light, And your right judgment like the noonday sun." 7 Be still before Yahweh, and wait for Him; Do not grow hot because someone prospers his way, Because a man is carrying out his schemes;" 8 Hold back from anger, and forsake fury; Do not grow hot; it leads only to evil." 9 For the evildoers, they shall be cut off, Yet those expecting Yahweh, they shall tenant the land." 10 And still a little while, and there will be no wicked one; When you consider his place, he will not be there." 11 Yet the humbled ones, they shall tenant the land, And they will find pleasure in the abundance of well-being." 12 The wicked one is scheming against the righteous one, And is gnashing his teeth at him." 13 Yahweh, He is ridiculing him, For He sees that his day shall come." 14 The wicked unloose the sword, And they position their bow, To cast down the humbled and the needy one, To slaughter the upright of way." 15 Their sword, it shall enter their own heart, And their bows, they shall be broken." 16 Better are a few who are for the righteous one Than a throng of many wicked ones. 17 For the arms of the wicked, they shall be broken, Yet Yahweh is supporting the righteous." 18 Yahweh is knowing the days of the flawless, And their allotment shall be for the eon." 19 They shall not be ashamed in an evil season, And in days of famine, they shall be satisfied." 20 But the wicked, they shall perish, even the enemies of Yahweh, Like the precious bloom of the meadows, they will vanish; Like smoke they will vanish." 21 The wicked one is borrowing, but he does not repay, Yet the just one is generous and giving." 22 For those being blessed by Him shall tenant the land, Yet those being maledicted by Him shall be cut off." 23 By Yahweh are the steps of a master prepared, And in His way shall he delight." 24 Though he should fall, he shall not be cast forth, For Yahweh is supporting his hand." 25 I was a youth, and now I am old; Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken Or his seed seeking bread." 26 The entire day he is generous and obliging, And his seed becomes a blessing." 27 Withdraw from evil, and do good; Then tabernacle for the eon." 28 For Yahweh is loving right judgment, And He shall not forsake His benign ones. The iniquitous will be exterminated for the eon, And the seed of the wicked, it will be cut off." 29 The righteous, they shall tenant the land, And they shall tabernacle on it for the future." 30 The mouth of the righteous one, it soliloquizes wisdom, And his tongue, it speaks right judgment." 31 The law of his Elohim is in his heart And his movement is not tottering. 32 The wicked is watching for the righteous one And is seeking to put him to death. 33 Yahweh, He shall not forsake him to his hand, And He shall not let him be condemned when he is judged." 34 Be expectant toward Yahweh, and keep His way, And He shall exalt you to tenant the land. When the wicked are cut off, you shall see it." 35 I have seen a wicked one, a terrifier, Elevating himself like a flourishing native tree." 36 Yet I passed by, and behold, he was not there, And I sought him, and he was not found." 37 Observe the flawless, and see the upright, That there is a hereafter for the man of peace." 38 Yet transgressors, they will be exterminated together; The hereafter of the wicked, it will be cut off." 39 The salvation of the righteous is from Yahweh, Their Stronghold in a season of distress." 40 And Yahweh shall help them and deliver them; He shall deliver them from the wicked and save them, For they took refuge in Him."
